@DavidBagnall15 Thanks David. Due to a fire next to the track, this service is being further delayed. Once we know more I'm sure an announcement will be made. Apologies for the inconvenience caused. - Sam

(1/5) The Home Affairs Committee’s recommendation to urgently reschedule certain psychedelic substances is a step in the right direction, but the government’s inaction is concerning. 🧵👇 researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/POST…

This was a classic example of fear media tried to install. "What if someone dies in the back of your van?" Guess what no-one died, no HIV was transmitted despite multiple people with HIV using the service & rather than death, 9 overdoses were non-fatal.

We are hosting a Patient Involvement online workshop next Monday 1800-2000 to provide feedback on our upcoming study investing the brain and clinical mechanisms of psilocybin therapy in Gambling Disorder. @Imperial_PRG @ProfDavidNutt @m_wall @HBowdenJonesOBE @Drug_Science

Pleased to be speaking to GPs interested in addiction - at their next @RCGP conference next January rcgp.my.site.com/s/lt-event?id=… @Drug_Science

I was abused at home & at school, my teenage years were filled with trauma & I ended up sleeping rough injecting drugs in filthy conditions, in & out hospitals & police cells. The truth is punishment never, ever helped, when will we realise punishment needs replaced by support?

@profhrs Congrats on announcement @profhrs !

The @ukhomeoffice *is* licensing ‘front of house’ public drug checking & ‘back of house’ non public drug testing. The bigger obstacle is local govt not national govt. Public health needs to support rapid rollout of #drugchecking to prevent overdose & DRD. theguardian.com/society/2024/o…

@ProfAlexStevens @SteveTransform There were a lot of nods to his work - particularly in the results from the HAT talks from Oslo and Glasgow - goes to show how timeless his work is.

First sighting at #LxAddictions of Dr John Marks' U-shaped curve of drug/prohibition/regulation related harms, as adapted by @SteveTransform and then used by BC

Powerful and inspiring words from @FemkeHalsemaa to close #LxAddictions24 leading the way with implementing honest, rational and evidence based drug policy to reduce harm and improve outcomes for everyone.

@PeteKrykant_OPC Hi Peter - would you be able to follow back - would be good to DM if possible. Mark

2/2 mourning a loved one, a son, daughter, mother, father, brother, sister, all devastating, needless loss. I've seen what works to reduce harms & deaths in lots of countries, its purely a UK political choice to allow all this suffering & death to continue, just heartbreaking 💔

Short🧵on UK drug deaths increasing again 1/2 With prohibition making drugs more toxic & dangerous & no sign of decriminalisation, safer supply or safer consumption sites this news is not surprising. Having lost way to many family & friends myself, my heart breaks for all

@CatrionaMath Great presentation today Catriona. Would be good to catch up at one of the breaks over the next few days?

@profhrs @Imperial_PRG Agree that smoking cessation is probably not the largest area of unmet need / innovation - but promising outcomes from earlier studies in these areas which could translate over to OUD / AUD and hopefully have massive impact - but lets see how the study goes!

@profhrs Super exciting project and hopefully show promise as it has done in alcohol use disorder and smoking cessation @profhrs @Imperial_PRG
